Item Description
Gemmy and lustrous, deep emerald-green, dioptase crystals are aesthetically perched atop the sculptural matrix of quartz on this showy and classic combination specimen from recent finds here. I particularly like the way the largest crystal, at 1.5 cm, juts upward at the top of the piece. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
